I've been told that the press has the first production cars now and barring any unforeseen problems, most will have reviews in their July editions, (Available end of May, beginning of June).

im guessing 11.70's@126-129 on the stock tires. For the magazines...ill say 13.8@110 since apparently none of them know how to run a car down a track.

If this car traps 129 I swear ill never buy another GM lol. I give it 125 at best production trim.

You may be right, I was screwing around with a HP calculator and it said @ 4000lbs and 660BHP it SHOULD trap 128, i know these are just guesstimates so that's why I gave it a couple mph either way. I think your probably right as most average drivers will probably see the 124-125mph range, but I think a good driver will get a few more MPH out of it.

Well given the fact that most 2011-12 with a pulley and tune trap 123-126 I would think that upper 120's shouldn't be that far off.

I'm thinking MM&FF will run mid 11s @ 125+ and high 10s with tires. :burnout:

Well if you have doubts, we have a member here on SVTP with a 2010 that has gone 11.30 @ 123 with a factory iron block. Also member with a 2011 Aluminum motor than has gone 11.11 @ 124 with optimal conditions and traction.

I would think with a 100 extra hp at the flywheel that you could gain 8 mph trap over the previous best on power alone, not to mention the areo on the 13 is huge over the 12 from what I understand.

With a driver 130 mph traps are more than possible.
